Not a fan of blacking it out. Just wanted a touch of chrome to give it some "Pop!" Replaced the side vent emblem with the factory chrome ones.
Got the door handles, grill insert and mirror covers from blingking.com(Brandon is a one man operation, he nailed it on the chrome grill insert, and the door handles)most chrome accents come from overseas.
So letter inserts for front, grill insert, mirror covers, door handles, running boards and letters for tail gate all chrome.
Someday I'll retrieve a chrome rear bumper from a wrecked Ranger.

I wonder if this works with the touch to unlock feature.

That chrome looks real sharp paired with the blue.

With all that chrome you put on i bet you added 50 hp, btw truck looks good
That's certainly been my experience, the more chrome, the faster and flashier the vehicle, Newton's 4th law clearly proved that a century or so ago. Or it could be that no one wants to be seen racing a fully chromed truck .

Chrome is "slipperier" in the wind. Threw it in the wind tunnel just to ck. Yep went. 1.2 mph faster.?

not a chrome fan, but appreciate the look when it goes well with the body color.
blue and chrome are probably the best match up.
the grill is pretty snazzy.
Grill just snapped in . Freakin' easy and cool.

Wind tunnel said 1.2mph added to top speed.?
I choose the chrome package rather than going for a tune - more bang for the buck, and the chrome drives all the old men crazy at the golf course, gonna start showing up when it's ladies golf day to get even more ROI. :sunglasses:

All the "kids" are blacking out everything. So it's not unique. Just going along with the herd.?

Who's "racing" a Ranger? Far from "fully chromed. Just a few accents. Looks great under the lights on the Vegas Strip.
